The Trentham Estate

The Trentham Estate is one of the country’s top visitor destinations. Comprising of 725 acres, it is the last remnants of one of England’s great garden estates. The estate attracts in the region of 3 million visitors a year, due to its wide appeal and diverse activities to engage every generation.

Client Reviews

One word ' Fantastic', they listened, came up with good ideas and concepts, refined the final choice and delivered all within time and budget. A really very good job and a great look and feel website which when combined in the CMS system for administration it has made our lives so much easier and allows us to change and adapt the site quickly and easily.

Red 2 Design helped Cuddles Boutique design and implement our new e-commerce site. Their initial brief was to design an image and look that was fitting with an upper market e-commerce site with a boutique feel. They quickly turned round various different designs together with different colour schemes. One the logo was agreed all other colours and page looks were adapted around it. All print and advertising material also matched the site. They provided advice with product images, assisted with resizing, cropping etc. The quick turn around and professionalism help turn what seemed like a stressful experience into an enjoyable expereince. I would recommend Red 2 Design for all web and print work.
